They would not be denied for misrep for leaving out the part about initially coming into contact online. Can you show me an immigration law or policy that states that would qualify for misrepresentation and a denial?

#34 asks if you met in person within the 2 years prior to filing, and then #34a asks you to describe the circumstances of the personal meeting(s) within those 2 years.

#35 asks if you met through an IMB, and #35a asks you to provide detailed info about the IMB if you answered yes.

Well, if they say in writing they met in another country, but in the interview the beneficiary says they met online, that will cause problems. It is better to tell the truth and omit nothing.

No it won't. As was stated before, the I-129F asks how you met in person...now how you originally met when your relationship began. Yes at the interview they will ask how you originally met, and it is perfectly fine at that time to say you met on such and such website, started messaging each other, etc. There is no issue at all with this.

I met my wife originally online. On the I-129F I sent in, I said:

I met [wife's name] at NAIA airport in Manila, Philippines on Nov 3, 2013. We spent 2 weeks together.

At the interview the first Filipina consul asked us how we met. We explained that we met each other online, started messaging each other and became best friends. Then she asked to see pictures of us together, and that was it. The American consul never asked us how we met, just focused more on what our wedding plans were.

Absolutely NO ISSUES.

They are answering the question as to how they met in person within the 2 years prior to filing. Stating that they met in person in the foreign fiance(e)'s country would be truth. That is exactly when and where they first met each other. There is a distinction between how one initially comes into contact with someone and how one meets face-to-face. It is easy to answer and explain these things during an interview. There are no lies being told.

#34 asks, 'Has your fiancé(e) met and seen you within the 2-year period immediately preceding the filing of this petition?, Yes or No'

#34a.(this question is linked to #34) then continues and asks, 'Describe the circumstances under which you met. If you have not personally met each other, explain how the relationship was established.'

And as I said in my other post, if they wish to also add in how they initially came into contact with each other, then they should not simply state 'online'. They will need to state exactly what website it was, and if it was a dating site, provide the TOS to show it was not an IMB.
